john boehner didn't answer the tax part of the question at all. he talked about the phone call. it was pleasant. he didn't say we did not allow tax rates to go up at all. you see the deal that's taking place. a lot of the players i talked to think something like this is going to happen. the final rates raise a bit giving democrats a win. giving republicans a win. maybe they will be 37%. maybe 38%. that won't raise enough revenue so it will be combined with policy to cap deductions for the rich. that won't take effect right away. it will be phased in. it will probably include an exemption for charitable contributions. the harder question is what republicans get on the spending >> that's not a no. here is the treasury secretary timothy geithner. >> there's no agreement that doesn't involve the rates going up on the top 2%. >> not necessarily going up to the clinton era rates. just going up. today at a press conference at the capital, bain got a question about this. listen carefully to how he responded or didn't respond. >> you did speak with the president earlier this week. can yo

you have challenged john boehner. i mean, what you put out there, it may sound -- may sound very normal and calm and compromise-filled to many. but perhaps to him, it's a little bit of a slap in the face. have you talked to him about it directly? >> yeah, of course. i mean, look, i deal with the speaker on a regular basis. and he knows, look, i'm never going to undercut him and he knows when the tough votes come, and they're going to come, that i'll be there to try and support him and help him. so he's not going to scold me because i offered in private, you know, my advice that was solicited and then when it was leaked actually defended in public. i don't think he would expect me to do anything else. >> well, it's good. it's good you stand by what you said. and i know we have to applaud when anyone chooses to do that in washington, sir. thank you so much. appreciate your time, congressman cole. >> thank you, erin. >>> a man who stood by what he said, even though it flew in the face of what others like grover norquist
